PRP Platelet Rich Plasma

Welcome to NassifMD Medical Spa UK, where we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals. One of our most sought-after services is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. In this section, we will provide you with a comprehensive overview of PRP, including its history, applications in medical aesthetics, and the numerous benefits it offers for both men and women.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)? Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is an innovative medical procedure that utilizes the natural healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin, hair, and other areas of concern. PRP is derived from your blood through a simple and safe process, where a small sample is drawn and then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.

A Brief History of PRP Initially developed in the 1970s, PRP therapy has gained significant recognition and popularity in recent years for its remarkable regenerative capabilities. Originally used in orthopedics and sports medicine to promote tissue healing and repair, PRP soon found its way into the realm of medical aesthetics due to its impressive results in rejuvenating the skin and promoting hair growth.

PRP in Medical Aesthetics At our medical spa, PRP is a powerful tool in our arsenal for addressing a wide range of concerns related to aging, hair loss, scarring, and hormonal changes. With its ability to stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue repair, PRP therapy offers a natural and effective approach to achieving youthful and radiant skin and promoting hair growth.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

  1. Hair Thinning and Hair Loss: PRP is a game-changer for individuals experiencing hair thinning, androgenic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss. By injecting PRP into the scalp, we can stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and restoring fullness to thinning areas.
  2. Anti-Aging: PRP is an excellent option for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance. By targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and areas of volume loss, PRP stimulates collagen production and enhances skin elasticity, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin.
  3. Scar Treatment: Whether you have acne scars, surgical scars, or other types of scarring, PRP can help diminish their appearance. The growth factors present in PRP encourage tissue regeneration and remodeling, leading to the reduction of scar visibility.
  4. Peri-Menopause and Menopause Hair Loss: Many women experience hair loss or thinning during peri-menopause and menopause due to hormonal changes. PRP can help combat this by rejuvenating hair follicles, promoting hair growth, and improving the overall quality and thickness of the hair.

Treatment Sessions and Procedure The number of PRP sessions required can vary depending on the specific concern being addressed. In general, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. During each session, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors. Finally, the PRP solution is carefully injected into the targeted area, such as the scalp or facial skin, using fine needles or a micro-needling technique.

Duration and Recovery One of the many advantages of PRP therapy is its minimal downtime. Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically subsides within a day or two. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, making PRP an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.

Longevity of Results The duration of PRP results can vary depending on individual factors and the specific concern being addressed. Generally, the benefits of PRP are long-lasting, with results typically visible within a few weeks to months after treatment. To maintain and optimize your results, we recommend periodic maintenance treatments as advised by our experienced medical professionals.

We are proud to offer PRP therapy as a versatile and effective treatment option for a range of concerns, catering to both men and women. Our experienced team of professionals is dedicated to providing you with personalized care and delivering outstanding results.

FAQs

What is the process?

The doctor will take a sample of blood. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge for a few minutes and spun at high speed to isolate platelets and other healing growth factors and then resuspended into a platelet-rich solution. This provides us with 6mls of plasma to inject into you. The plasma and serum are extracted and then re-injected back into the patients skin. The whole procedure only involves needle injections to the desired areas, requires virtually no healing time and also reduces possible side effects to a minimum.

Does it hurt?

There is some minor discomfort and a tingling sensation may be felt but the treatment is done with a very fine needle to minimise any pain.

What are the side effects?

Plasma injections are autologous, meaning it has come from you, so side effects are very mild because it is unlikely that the body will have an adverse reaction to its own materials. At most, you may expect to experience mild to moderate swelling and/or redness in the area of treatment, which are common side effects.
In addition, because a volume of fluid is administered to the area, some mild swelling can occur and may take a few days to disappear.

How long after treatment before I see a change?

Patients will usually feel the immediate effects of treatment after it is performed and during the next few weeks the collagen will begin to grow and generate more and more healthy cells underneath the skin. That is when the optimum results of the procedure are felt.

Does the procedure need to be repeated?

Yes, a course of 3, 4 weeks apart, is required Depending on the area treated, repeat treatments may be necessary to continue the desired effects. Facial rejuvenation procedures may require 1-3 treatments yearly, depending on the treatment. Hair  loss may require more than 3 sessions.

Why should I have a PRP treatment?

It is suitable for patients who prefer a more natural approach to aesthetic treatments. It is also ideal for patients who are not candidates for dermal filler. It is very popular for treating the eye area, in both female and male patients, and offers a wonderful alternative solution to traditional aesthetic injectables.

It is a fantastic treatment for hair thinning and a wonderful way to thicken hair from the effects of peri menopause and menopause.

It is a very popular treatment with our male patients. Specifically for the hair and eye area. The beauty of PRP is that it does not alter your appearance in any way so male patients enjoy the results of this treatment to assist in rectifying their concerns in an indictable way.

We derive 6mls of plasma each session. We treat the main areas of your concern first, such as eyes, upper lip, neck, full face. We don’t waste a drop so any remaining plasma can be used to treat eyebrows, hairline decollate – anywhere you desire.

I had the best experience at NassifMD Medspa UK. The spa itself is beautiful and luxurious and in a great location on the Quays. On arrival I was met by Amanda and immediately I felt relaxed and at ease. My consultation with Dr Jamie was a joy ! His knowledge and experience is vast and nothing was too much trouble when faced with my endless questions and concerns. I was given several options of treatments and between us we decided on a course of action …. The results ? Well I’m absolutely thrilled ! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have had many services here and the service is not only impeccable the knowledge Amanda gives is fantastic. The Dr’s and nurses at Dr.Nassif’s medical spa are amazing. My hydrafacial was the best one I’ve ever had. I get PRP and profhilo, also the best. I’ve recently just had nucleofill for my under eyes & with what was left over the Dr noticed I had a slight outbreak of spots and administered the nucleofill there. 1 day post treatment my eyes look much better and my spots have started to clear up! The initiative and attention to detail on top of already an amazing treatment is what makes this clinic the best I’ve ever been too. I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks team for being so amazing! I wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else!

My 1st visit to this clinic , first impressions - such a beautiful well run , professional atmosphere. Amanda and staff helped put me at my ease and explained everything before my treatment. This included previous clients photos of before and after treatments and a thorough discussion of my needs, which put me at ease. My rosacea is much improved already after treatment and I look forward to my return for follow up and a second treatment.
